Not an organization, just read the bill. The deduction categories removed are likely to hit Maine hard. The removal of the healthcare deduction is huge for the self-employed.

Loss of alimony deduction is taxing people for $ they earn but are legally prohibited from spending & must pass to a former spouse. It adds hardship to separated families, drives conflict, & will increase litigation.
#mepolitics
Loss of moving expenses penalizes people who move for work when a company could deduct the same $.
#mepolitics
Loss of student loan/tuition waivers severly hinders upward mobility in #Maine, where already so many cannot afford college.
#mepolitics

Basically, you're coming across as a defender of a complicated, expensive tax code that favors few. #mepolitics
I prefer a more simple code Jason. I was @GOP for years & still often vote that way. I'd love to live in a world with flat tax, but that removes the legislative ability to incent behavior/help disadvantaged.
This bill backs the wrong horses.
